13 Businesses You Can Start With Less Than $100

Become a House Cleaner

If you have a reliable car, some basic cleaning products and a lot of getting up and go, house cleaning is one of the easiest businesses to start. Advertise your services on noticeboards and by word of mouth (tell your local hairdresser!) – and get cleaning.

Happy clients are usually willing to pay $30/hour. You could charge more if you choose to have natural products or go vegan, or naked.

This is great seasonal work coming up to Christmas. Many people don’t have the time (or energy) to do a full house clean before their home is full of visitors.

Where to Advertise for Clients:

Local Facebook Pages
Approach local cleaning companies that may want additional staff over the Christmas Season.
Start a Facebook Page for your new cleaning business – and order some magnetic stickers for your vehicle.

How to Stand Out From the Crowd:

Offer Green Cleaning options with all environmentally friendly cleaning products! There are even cleaners that clean in the nude that demand huge money! (you may need to look into the legalities of that before going ahead!)
